Why are you a villain?

<Dabi's POV>

"Ok so everyone listen up while I explain the rules!" I turn to look at the pastel coloured girl as the whole room goes quiet.
"Alright so how the game works. Going around the circle we will pick a name out of this hat," on cue Denki pulls out a hat filled to the brim with papers from nowhere "Whoever you pull out is who you ask the question to. You have to answer truthfully and if you refuse to answer then you will be punished" I hear Veggie boy let out an audible gulp as Mina gives him a warning look.
"Once that pairs done the name goes back in the hat and we continue around the circle. I'll start us off!"

**After a few people's turns**

I look around the room bored. This dumb game has been going around for what feels like forever with your generic preschool questions. I look to Bakugo as he pulls out a name then watch as his face breaks out in a smirk.
"Dabi," my head perks up at my name. Finally something interesting.
"Ask away I guess" I state trying to show my newfound interest in the game. Bakugo sits there thinking for a moment before looking me in the eyes.
"I'll start off simple. How long have you known Toga? You seem relatively close" I look up at the ceiling pretending like I actually have to think for the answer to the question. I don't have to.
"I've known her since we were little kids. She was five and I was 8 when we started to be close friends" They all seem to be satisfied with the answer as they pass me the hat full of names and indicate for me to continue my go.

Swishing my hand around inside the cap with a huff I grabbed one of the scrunched-up balls of paper and unravel it.
"Midoriya" I read out loud and the Green Bean's head lifts to look at me in surprise.
"That's me. In-Incase you forgot" He states with a nervous chuckle. I didn't forget but I wish I did. Because forgetting breaks all chances of attachment and in time any feelings of remorse. I look the freckled face boy dead in the eye and smirk.
"How long have you been snogging Ice Queen huh?" A light pink rises to his cheeks and seems to darken his freckles even more. He puts his head down slightly whilst shaking his head in an attempt to shake away the rosy color then lifts his head to look at me. A proud, toothy smile is flashed my way.
"About three months in a few days" I give a hum of acknowledgment and hand him the hat. The same cycle goes on repeat for a good 20 minutes later. Names are pulled out of the hat, people think of a question, they ask it and it gets answered then repeat. All of it is unmemorable and boring, that is until I hear Mina read out my name from the paper in front of her.

"Dabi" She turns to me with a sadistic grin. This girl is missing a few screws and it's the only way to describe her, unhinged. She doesn't even wait for my response to continue with her questin.
"How old were you when you joined the League of Villains?" without batting an eye I answer because there isn't a point in not. This lace won't change me and I'll probably die before the heroes let me go free.
"I officially joined the league when I was 13 but I had somewhat of an association with them before that" I state simply even though the situation itself is farthest away from simple. simple is taking out the trash or emptying the cat shit out of the litter box. Nothing about my life is simple anymore.
Accepting my question and leaving it at that the alien girl hands me the hat and what do you know the name I pull out just so happens to be,
"Mina" she bounces happily praising about what are the odds it was her. I just ignore it all and ask my question.
"Why are you so fucking loud?" She gives me a shit-eating grin leaping over to me and wrapping her around my shoulder.
"Because my dearest crispy friend it's simply just my personality and as Lady Gaga says: 'Baby I was born this way" I give her something between a scoff and a snort at her answer and Denki chuckles at the girl.
"Only you would think of an answer like that Mina" The blonde boy states with a grin whilst the girl snatched the hat off me excitedly and reads out a name.

"Todorki" Unconsciously I look up at the girl and silently curse myself to oblivion. To anyone else it was a normal thing to do when someone is speaking, to look at them and listen. But to me? To me it was different. To me it was a heaving chain of a ghost, wrapping its way around my neck and tightening its grip on my life. Tightening its grip on my mind, heart, and soul just to be a pain in my ass. To stab me over and over and over again until I have nothing left to bleed. Nothing left to give it anymore, until it washes away my very existence. I'm snapped back to the present time by someone calling my name. The someone is Shoto Todoroki, the only Todoroki in the room. It appears that whilst I was drowning in my thoughts he had answered his question and I assumed picked my name out because all eyes in the room are on me. Watching me expectantly.
"What?" I asked with more than my usual snap, or at least what has become my usual snap.
"I asked my question," The boy explains casually and I just look at him oblivious. He did? Well shit, I didn't hear. As if reading my mind he repeats his Question to me without me having to ask.

"I asked you why you became a Villain"
